** The player cannot dodge mid-melee swing like in the second game, while Dante is faster in 3 so are the enemies so it can result in the same issue of starting a melee attack only for a far off enemy to suddenly do a teleport/charge without enough time to realistically evade it.

** Yellow Orbs requiring the player to use a rare and expensive item just to load checkpoints was so bad they added Golden Orbs in Special Edition, which revive the player on the spot and give the player infinite checkpoint restarts as well.

** For Dante Must Die playthroughs in non-UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch versions, most players will stick with Level 3 Swordmaster Style, and their loadouts primarily consist of Rebellion and Beowulf for their melee weapons (sometimes either will be switched out for Cerberus or Agni & Rudra depending on the boss), and Ebony & Ivory and Kalina Ann for their ranged weapons. This is due to the BoringButPractical high damage output, juggle potential, or that three of the melee weapons allow for double jumping if you bought the upgrades, which most players will have done by this point.

As such, even if the game is not entirely BestKnownForTheFanservice, it's still remembered and played for having one of Dante's most attractive iterations.

** The FixedCamera angles can be confusing depending on where they are placed, but usually, the camera faces the door where you just came from, so you have to walk several steps further when you enter a room before knowing what you're about to deal with.

Fortunately, moving your character around reveals their position or shifts the camera to a nearer perspective.

** Some fights against gigantic bosses are made more challenging because of the camera angles, especially when you're locked-on. For example, the camera might not properly show Cerberus when he charges forward.
